“Let me ask you a serious question. How many times are you going to ask me that same question? And in how many ways are you going to go about it. … The ideal world Mike’s the healthiest in the world, Nicks the healthiest in the world, Matt [Barkley]’s the healthiest in the world. At that point in time, we’ll have that conversation.”

I feel Chip’s pain. Answering the question about who would start given full health is a frivolous exercise. It’s like asking who would start for the Eagles if Norm Van Brocklin, Ron Jaworski, Randall Cunningham, Donovan McNabb and Mini Ditka were available and in their primes. What’s the point in answering hypotheticals?

On the other hand; come on, Chip. You’re a smart guy and you know answering the occasional ridiculous question is part of the gig. No need to get snippy. Deflect the question and move on. You’re in the big leagues now. This isn’t Eugene, where the only pressing questions were what color combinations your team was going to wear while routing Oregon State. It comes with the territory.

His QBs aren’t healthy, so why should he answer question that presume they are?
